Made with Code (designed with girls in mind)
Made with Code was created because increasingly more aspects in our lives are powered by technology, yet women aren’t represented in the roles that make technology happen. Only 0.03 percent of girls enter the computer science field.
If we can inspire girls to see that code can help them pursue their passions, whatever they may be, then hopefully they will begin to contribute their voices to the field of technology for the benefit of us all.
